Kang-in Lee (22) performed outstandingly enough to receive the highest rating in the team, but his team Mallorca unfortunately lost to the 'big' FC Barcelona.
Mallorca lost 1-0 to Barcelona, where Robert Lewandowski scored the winning goal in the 7th round of Spanish La Liga for the 2022-2023 season held at the Visit Mallorca Stadium in Mallorca, Spain on the 2nd (Korea time).
Mallorca, which did not have a winning streak following the match against Almeria (1-0 win), was placed in 10th place (8 points, 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses).
Barcelona, with 6 straight wins and 7 undefeated opening games, has risen to the lead (with 19 points, 6 wins and 1 draw).
However, second-placed Real Madrid (18, 6 wins) have played one less game than Barcelona.
Kang-in Lee played full-time for two consecutive games.
Kang-in Lee, placed on the left, was unable to increase his attacking points, but he played a pivotal role in the team's attack and created several menacing scenes.
Kang-in Lee has one goal and three assists this season.
Kang-in Lee, who was called up to the national team for the first time in a year and a half in the September A match, but was not selected by coach Paulo Bento in both games and kept the bench, showed off his skills in the first match of his team on this day after the call-up was canceled.
It was regrettable that Lee Kang-in's surprise mid-range shot in the 11th minute was defended and slightly missed the goal.
In addition, he threw good passes several times and gave the front-line striker Bedat Mouriki and others a scoring opportunity.
According to WhoScore.com, a soccer statistics site, Kang-in Lee tried to break through the dribble three times that day and succeeded in all of them, which was the highest number for both teams.
He also appeared to be actively involved in defense, which was pointed out as a weakness.
He's been in possession of the ball 2 times in 4 contests.
Whoscore.com gave Kangin Lee a rating of 6.9, the second highest in Mallorca.
Only right wingback Pablo Mapeo (7.1 points) scored higher than Lee Kang-in.
Another statistics site, Footmob, gave Lee Kang-in the team's highest score of 7.1.
The highest score of both teams was awarded to Robert Lewandowski, who scored the winning goal.
Lewandowski scored 7.7 on Whoscore.com and 8.0 on Foot Mob.
Lewandowski broke through the left side of the goal area in the 20th minute of the first half, then folded once, surpassed the defender, and scored a right-footed ground ball into the lower right corner of the goal to reach the finish line.
Lewandowski, who scored his ninth goal of the season, maintained his sole lead in the league's top scorer rankings and widened the gap with 2nd place (6 goals) Borja Iglesias (Real Betis) with three goals.
Lewandowski has scored goals in six games in a row.
